Chemboys LLC is recalling about 200 units of its DIYChemicals potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide products because the packaging is not child-resistant, violating federal safety laws. These chemicals, often used for cleaning and soapmaking, were sold in bags ranging from 200 grams to 10 pounds. Additionally, the product labels are missing mandatory safety information. Consumers should immediately move the products to a safe, secure location and contact the company for free replacement child-resistant packaging and new labels.
The current packaging fails to meet child-resistant safety requirements, posing a significant risk of severe chemical burns and irritation to the skin and eyes if a child accesses the contents. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately store the recalled products in a safe location out of sight and reach of children. Contact Chemboys to receive free replacement child resistant packaging and a new label. All known purchasers are being contacted directly by the firm.
